This is not looking good, if more and more countries are joining BRICS, then in the end it will be US+EU vs BRICS which is world war 3.
We need to have more and more country to be neutral, so when there's an attack from the another country, the other will support it and cool down the war. If there's only two big group, when a country attack another one, the other country will help and trying to attack back.
The book is set in 1984 in Oceania, one of three perpetually warring totalitarian states (the other two are Eurasia and Eastasia).
George Orwell's 1984!
It's interesting when this book was written. I first read it in high school... I read it again when I was 19-20 years old. Now I'm close to 40 and I think I should read it again just to remind myself what really awaits us all in the near future. In the 21st century, people are crazier than ever before, and perhaps the biggest problem is arming, there are more of them than ever and everyone is still arming themselves. I just wonder where they will go with all those weapons...
